Beautiful card! Your perseverance and work arounds are a great lesson for us newbies. Thanks for keeping it real

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. x

[@paulawray6210]

Sometime things just go belly up! Thank you for show your perseverance! Most KZbinrs won't risk showing when things don't go to plan. Thank you for being human. Great card!

[@nbcascards]

Yes! Thank you!

[@lesleyebdon8044]

Gorgeous result in the end and I love that you shared it all. Xx

[@noreenmulder5255]

Hi. Well done for sticking to your fabulous idea. You endured and the end result is amazing. TFS this video, that shows even great card makers make mistakes sometimes. ❤❤❤

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@maureenmahurin1673]

I love the way your card ultimately turned out and I appreciate your showing when things went south and how you decided to fix it. I always appreciate and have a higher respect for the creator when they actually show their thought processes and what they do in these instances, instead of always just showing perfectly edited videos where everything just seemingly goes as planned.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! x

Brilliant inlay.

Thanks, Jane! x

[@heatherrobertson1113]

Fabulous 😊. I love that you just go with it and don't edit. It makes me feel less inadequate when I go awry. Thank you 😊

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. x

[@bonnerdebbie]

If I kept track of the cards that went wrong, I might never make another. Great save, lovely card!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Debbie! x

[@3catmom844]

This video is exactly what I have happen to me many times! I thought I was the only one! Great Video and great encouragement!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Glad it was helpful. x

[@claresegensman3566]

"Just cover it up!" Love your motto! I may have to adopt this motto as well.

[@nbcascards]

Go for it! Thanks for watching. x

[@MargueriteAtHome]

You’re a brave soul! When you went to stamp the panel the first time, I actually said, “You’re brave!” out loud. 😅 I’m glad you shared this video, because the only thing I would have thought to do would have been to stamp the sentiment on a shape and then adhered that to the front, resulting in a look with which I would not have been too pleased. It’s fascinating to watch your brain work, never mind that it always manages to result in a beautiful creation! 😊 Thank you!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Marguerite! I did think about adding the sentiment on a shape to cover up the mess, but I didn’t think I’d like that look on this card. I figure there’s always more paper, so I was happy to cut a third panel. :)

[@MargueriteAtHome]

@@nbcascards A much better solution!

[@CanadianQueenmagenta]

Is it horrible to say I am glad to see you have days like I do where nothing goes to plan? Lol A day in the life of a card maker. I think this card is gorgeous. Thanks, Natalie.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Jan! Not horrible at all. Your comment made me chuckle.

[@maxinethomas9380]

Beautiful clean and simple card. So pleased to see that even an “expert” can and does make mistakes. I often watch u-tubers and nothing ever seems to go wrong. It all looks so easy and perfect. This tutorial has made me like and appreciate you even more. Thanks so much Natalie for showing you are human. Love your channel. ❤️

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much, Maxine! I’m definitely human. 😂

[@alexisjohnston6729]

I never leave a card either 😁 when you’ve invested your time and effort you’ll try anything to turn it around 😅

[@nbcascards]

So true! Thanks for watching. x

[@angelaharnett6437]

What a beautiful crisp and clean card . TFS x

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Angela! 😊

[@pagecropper]

Great video. My TH stamping press always does what yours did. I never use it anymore.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks! Yes, I think the TH platform has warped a bit - it’s not reliable anymore. x

[@ginatrevino5514]

Love it! Great to know even the professional card makers make mistakes ❤ thanks for another beautiful one ❤🎉

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Gina! Although I definitely wouldn’t class myself as a professional! :)

[@sharonedwards777]

Love it Natalie! I often send cards with a big mess that can’t be seen, and keep my fingers crossed that nobody ever takes them apart 😂

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Sharon!

[@newyq1621]

Lovely card, clean and classy.

[@nbcascards]

Glad you like it! Thanks so much. x

[@lynettelemon9274]

I love my Tim Holtz stamp positioner. It is the only one I have and I don't know how I survived for so long without one. Some of your problem may have been due to the fact that you had it set up for a rubber stamp rather than a clear stamp (another reason I bought the Tim Holtz one). Either way I love that you kept the footage in because everyone has "those" days. I'm just about caught up on all your videos now. I love the amount of information you share with us xo

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Lynette! :)

[@suzannetunnicliffe2422]

I find I rescue somethings I don't want.

[@nbcascards]

😊

[@user-ix5yv8co7k]

Beautiful card, glad you got everything sorted. I don’t think I would have been able to. Can you tell me what if anything do you put inside your cards.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! Usually, I leave the inside of my card blank, so that I can write an appropriate message when I come to use them. x

[@gladysking1]

Thank you

[@myosbornesmo]

[@rhondawelsh2632]

I am very much enjoying your channel and your card techniques. I do have a question, what is the non-skid Matt you put the card on to do the ink blending? Thank you

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Rhonda! The mat is a Waffle Flower grip mat (the large size). x

[@rhondawelsh2632]

@@nbcascards Thanks !
